I have had my GF since last Spring, but a hiatus came into play. Suddenly I have gotten the urge to work on small projects. Decided to pick up some items to try.
Tried some turquoise nuggets. I was quite surprised that they wood engrave so well. The heart in the image is about 3.5 mm at its wide point and the other image - a bunny - is about 3 mm tall.
…And that is not my impression of a bleeding heart. Just tried red alcohol ink and got sloppy. But the rabbit is a gag gift for a friend who has about 100 different rabbit items in her house. She is going thru another “possession cleansing” so I thought that a “little something” to cheer her up would be in order.
Forget it @Jules . You aren’t eligible for the program of getting rid of stuff that has NOT been used in a year. Nobody here is either.
Comical to hear about how much effort people take to watch tv and internet stuff on how to sort t-shirts and socks.
Disclaimer - I am not opposed to those who fold, sort, organize, or possibly even iron their socks. I have so many orphan socks that are the result of something sinister that happens in the dryer that I can not stand the thought of taking inventory of my clothing drawers. It is sad, and I am sure that there is a program for people like me, but I am too involved in researching the internet for the best iron for ironing orphan socks.
Oh hell no…the instant I toss something that I haven’t used in a while, it’s a stone cold guarantee that I’ll need it desperately within 3 days.
My problem is I buy in bulk when I find a good price on something…and then have to store it. Yeep!
OK, 'fess up @jules. How many used proof grade sheets do you have lying around that would make a Master Swiss cheese maker envious? Come on, just one square inch engrave syndrome?
Obviously - I hope - I am just having fun and don’t mean to insult anyone.
My Mom was like Martha Stewart before Martha ever discover gold spray paint. Nothing was thrown away. I have never thrown away a scrap of proof grade or (as my my wife claims erroneously) anything else.
With the Glowforge in hand I am now justified. IT MIGHT BE ENGRAVEABLE!
Toss out the extra sock and the other will come slap you on the face looking for its mate. Back when my legs and back allowed I bought socks six pairs at a time and always black. That way even not matching it was hard to tell. Now they insulate drinks more often than I can reach my feet.
One of many signs I have in planning “Martha Stewart does not live here!”
